Kingston Chamber celebrates grand re-opening, lodging tax grant, and destination guide

On Jan. 28 the Chamber celebrated the grand re-opening of our Tourist Center and one-year anniversary in this location by featuring the dedication of our new neon sign, donated and custom made by member Custom Neon. Look for the brightly lit open sign at the Kingston Chamber and Tourist Center.

The Chamber learned that it is one of eight recipients in Kitsap County to receive a portion of the lodging tax grant money from a special tax levied on stays at hotels, motels, and bed-and-breakfasts in the county.

The first-ever, full-color Greater Kingston Chamber of Commerce Destination Guide and Membership Directory has arrived. We have plenty booklets at the Chamber. Come in for your copy and take a supply to hand out at your place of business.

We are pleased to announce renewing members: Glen Doremire; McClure Consulting LLC, Mary McClure; and Bill Henry Construction, Bill and Susan Henry. For contact information on these businesses, visit www.kingstonchamber.com and click on directory.
